And Then There Were Three

[tinhuvielartanis]

Sheba's Cushing's disease has gotten worse. She's vomiting two to three times a day and is losing muscle mass like crazy. She's also bleeding from the anus and mouth, fresh red blood, which is never a good sign. Aunt Tudi and I took her to Doc this morning and he's keeping her to run some tests to see if anything at all can be done. After the loss of Fitzgerald, I'm not sure how much more we can take losing our furbabies. I'll be able to deal with the loss of Sheba better than Aunt Tudi because Sheba and Aunt Tudi are bonded. Aunt Tudi would do just about anything to keep the dog with her but, sometimes, it's the humane thing to let the animal go. I don't know if now is the time for that, but we need to be prepared for that eventuality.

If we lose Sheba, we'll only have three dogs left, two of them geriatric. Chester is 11 and Riley is close to that. I have no idea how old Toby is. I think he's too ornery to ever die.
